No training today. I was expecting to wake up feeling rough or at least a bit sore from yesterday’s 253km ride. I was surprised and felt like training. The only reason I didn’t plan to train was because I thought I’d need to recover, but instead I fixed my gears and brakes and put on new bar tape. Ordered some new cables. Did my washing and made dinner. I do have a slight case of “non-training guilt” but I keep saying to myself gains are only made when you recover NOT when you train.
Tomorrow it’s back to a 50km sprint cycle followed by 3.8km swim before the work day starts.
I feel awesome that I achieved that yesterday.
Oh yeah, I keep reading about DOMS. I have never experienced this- is that normal? I ache a bit after weights, is that DOMs??? Confused.
